How Many Chiefs Players Will Make the NFL 100 This Year?
And who will they be?
I say for sure: Patrick Mahomes Travis Kelce Chris Jones Creed Humphrey Trent McDuffie Maybe make it: Harrison Butker (only reason he's not above is if they ice him out for his comments) Joe Thuney (may not make it because of his injury, but he should be above) George Karlaftis (should absolutely make it but doesn't draw the spotlight despite great performance) Out by technicality: L'Jarius Sneed (will make it as a Chiefs player but Titans get credit for it) 5-8 players out of 100 is still pretty outstanding. The fact that all of them except Butker and Thuney were draft picks is a testament to Veach. |

Here's Prisco's Top 100 published yesterday since we're on the topic.
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/n...scos-rankings/
Spoiler!
And I love Butker, but I think it's hard to call someone a Top 100 player in a league when someone only plays 158 snaps in a season (35 of which are FGs where he shines so much) when the team is on the field for over 2.6k snaps. He played under 6% of the total snaps (1.3% if removing kickoffs and PATs, using regular season stats). I'm all about kickers and special teams, and 100% see the importance and think Butker is the best of them, but everyone is playing a game and kickers and punters are like... they're own little subsection of football that doesn't really compare. They are their own seperate conversation. |

No kicker or punter should ever be in the top 100.

Disagree. Not many players outside an elite QB are the difference between winning and losing close games than a clutch kicker that is consistently major to nail 50+ yard field goals.
Having a Butker or Tucker is far more valuable than having the 5th best off ball linebacker or safety. |

I'm not trying to undercut Butker, I genuinely believe that he is the best kicker in the game currently, and I think he deserves to be the highest paid kicker in the league, but when his elite skill is only accessed 35 times through the course of the season (Not counting PATs as replacement level players are pretty much on par there, especially including Butker's troubles with PATs a few years back), of which he succeeds 33 of them, and a replacement level player would make 29 of them, we can't in good faith say that he's more valuable over a season than a Top 5 Safety or LB. Hell, we saw what having someone like Mathieu did for us for a few years. Kickers and Punters are specialists for a reason, they're playing a much different game than everyone else. It's important, but it's almost a 'sub-game' within the game if you will. I'm not attempting to undercut his performance or his value to us in clutch moments, but typically a safety or linebacker will have MUCH more impact on how a game turns out than a specialist.

It ends up being like Pro Bowl selections, so between 5 - 7 would be my guess.
Patrick Travis Creed Trent Lajarius Nick Chris Maybe Trey.. |
